Most scholars believe that Othello was based on a story, not a play, by the Italian author Cinthio called "Un Capitano Moro" or a Moorish Captain.
The full title of the Shakespeare play often called "Othello" is "The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice." There are operas and other musical pieces based on the story and in some of these the name is spelled "Otello."

Many scholars believe that the play Othello was based on the short story/play, A Moorish Captain.
Brabantio thought that Othello had used magic to get Desdemona to marry him. This was based on the highly racist assumptions that a) Othello was so ugly that no woman could possibly love him without some love potion, and b) Othello was from some weird foreign background where people probably used love potions all the time.
